Two spotted in Ireland

Post by endorfin » Sat Jul 13, 2013 12:57 pm

Just got back from 2 weeks in Ireland, spotted a green S2 Exclusive hatch in Skibbereen Co. Cork parked on the street:

The following day I spotted a silver S1 estate, no idea if it was diesel or petrol, parked outside Kelleher's Garage in Mangerton also Co. Cork. Judging by a bit of green growth on it it's been standing some time. Sure enough a quick look on Google Earth shows it there and going by the petrol prices at the time I estimate it to be 2011. Here's my photo (I got the gf to take it for me!):

Just two XM's in 2,000 miles of driving around Ireland, both in Co. Cork.

Sorry to be picky, :lol: ... that S1 is an S2.... The bumper and wingmirrors are the give away.

Good spots though. Shame the estate hasn't been used for a while. Must be a petrol!

Looks like the Bumper is actually S1 bumper.. Theres NO headlight washers, and the fog/indicator unit has NO trim on the inner sides of each one, where S2 foglights has plastic trim ALL around the units.

Id say its an S2 car though from the matching scuttle and door mirrors. The car could well of has S1 bumper and nose cone fitted... ;)

You are right Paul..mk1 bumper. Must of had a shunt. It has no visible binnacle inside, so I'd agree it must be a mk2.

Actually...I think it might well be a mk1. The drivers wing mirror appears to be black and mk1. This car could be either!
